Nice! Two things:

hash_fd() is added as a library-wide symbol. If it should remain so, it should
be Curl_ prefixed, but it seems to only be used from within multi.c so I
suggested it is moved there and made static. What do you say?

fd_key_compare seems to be in the same position.

Is this complication really necessary? I mean, why not just do it:

   return fd % (int)slots_num;

?

I figure upping that size is okay. Possibly we should consider a way to either
let the app somehow set it or perhaps allow it to grow somehow. Of course we
can even consider a different hash implementation that can deal with 10 or
10000 entries in a way that doesn't require us to change a fixed array size
like this.

I mean, if someone goes mad and tries 100,000 connections they probably will
see that upping this size even more will be very beneficial to them...
